Encountering Christ in the Word proclaimed at mass is one of the ways we become transformed into new creations in Christ. Before we go to mass every week, it is important we read and reflect on the readings so that we are fully prepared and open to what the liturgy offers us. This section offers different ways you can reflect on either the daily or weekly Sunday readings of the liturgy. If every day you read the daily liturgical readings you will find that in three years you would have read almost the entire bible!
